The Four Nations alliance surrounded the empire in hopes of putting pressure on Zhao Lingxin. But everything was wrong; this siege had already begun to affect them. Within the Four Nations alliance, some modern products are starting to lack. Both toothpaste and soap became harder and harder to find until it was no longer sold on the market. But it can be seen on the black market for a hundred times higher than before.
Zhao Lingxin ordered the sale of goods to foreign merchants at a price ten times higher than before. Plus, the brutal tariffs and the product began to be in short supply from the empire's siege. Made it now, people's lifestyles began to change.
"I miss soap!" Some villagers began to feel sick, and sweat covered their bodies. Even if they bath with clean water, it doesn't feel fresh or smells good. On top of that, not brushing their teeth makes them feel awkward. Many people try to buy trendy products. But when faced with a price on the black market that was a hundred times higher than before. They couldn't afford it; they just walked back with a disappointed face.
Not only that, but this effect has also been applied to other products—for example, salt.
"Is this salt? Why is it like this?" One villager was fierce negotiating with the salt dealer. Because the salt in his hand is of no quality. The salt in the hand of the villager was a big brown. Unlike the original, wholesome white, the salt grains are also fine, and have an exquisite taste.
"Don't complain too much. I only have this product. If you want better salt, go get it at Dazhou. Don't make noise here." Salter cut off the conversation. The villagers could only accept the poor brown salt back.
The surrounding regions imported a large quantity of wholesome salt from the Empire and many modern goods. But this siege has already begun to make people in trouble. This action was as if throwing a stone into their own feet and injuring them for nothing. But the products are limited. Even though there are things on the black market, they gradually ran out until there were no more trade products. Therefore, this problem had already begun to affect the nobles in the palace.
Evening at Datang Palace, Emperor Li Lianzhong was preparing to eat the evening meal. When Li Lianzhong grabbed the chopsticks, put the food in his mouth, he had to spit it out immediately.
"Damn, why is the food tasteless like this? Like dog food." Emperor Li Lianzhong was furious. He has been working hard all day. He tried to sit and read the Sun Wu Scripture tirelessly but had to come across this disappointing dinner.
The maid and eunuch, who saw the angry emperor, quickly knelt to the ground.
"I deserve to die. May His Majesty be merciful to forgive us as well. "
Emperor Li Lianzhong saw that the maid admits her guilt; he decided to let it go, wanting to pay attention to raise some liquor and drink. As soon as the alcohol entered his mouth, the emperor's eyes flashed. His face distorted before quickly spitting out the liquor.
"Damn, what kind of liquor? It tastes like a horse pee." This time, Emperor Li Lianzhong was truly angry.
Clank
He threw a glass of liquor on the floor. Today, both food and liquor are worse. There was no taste of deliciousness as if it were not the food that the master chefs of the royal palace had cooked.
"Bring Fang Tao to me now," Emperor Li Lianzhong ordered in an angry tone.
Not long ago, the royal chef, who was named the master chef. The one who made food like a god named Fang Tao knelt before Emperor Li Lianzhong.
Emperor Li Lianzhong, who saw Fang Tao's face, began to ask.
"Fang Tao, what is this about? Is this the food people eat? Why do you cook something like this? hurry to explain yourself." Emperor Li Lianzhong tried to figure out the truth. It created a tremendous pressure that Fang Tao had to kneel to the ground. Sweat flowed through his body, trying to explain to himself.
"Your Majesty, this matter ..." But this Fang Tao did not dare to speak. Because he has a dark past concealing.
Had to go back six months ago.
At that time, the Royal Palace was accepting applications for a royal chef. And fortunately, Fang Tao was selected for the internship. But he had gone to make an offense to the head chef of the royal family.
The head chef persecuted Fang Tao for serving food for the emperor. This was a devastating plan to get Fang Tao executed. Fang Tao is just a new kid who does not yet know the workload, and His Highness tongue chose only delicious food. Let's just have a few mistakes. Fang Tao's head must have come off his shoulder. This is a brutal adoption that lives at stake.
"No, I have to do something." Fang Tao looked anxious. While blaming himself in his heart, he was not worth going into trouble with the head chef until causing himself to suffer like this.
"I have to use the techniques I have already discovered," Fang Tao decided. Use what he has seen on the market recently to tie the emperor's stomach.
"Take this. Snow powder sprinkled all over the land." He took a handful of seasoning powder into the casserole.
Fang Tao discovered that this so-called seasoning powder was rarely sold in the market. It was difficult to find, and only a few merchants sold it. When using seasoning powder in cooking, finding it could easily improve the flavor of food. Even if he had never cooked before.
And this is the secret that Fang Tao can qualify as a royal chef right here.
"Not enough, this is not enough. I have to put it in again." The spirit of the chef lit up. The straw vines relentlessly put MSG into it. Until seasoning powder has piled up and the pot becomes a small mountain.
"Next must be mixed together" He adds water. Accelerate the fire to the maximum. Mix the seasoning powder with water until it forms a thick, clear soup. Then adding the noodle, it turned into a plain fried noodle with pork and kale soaked in gravy filled with a seasoning powder pile.
"Real food must put love in it." Fang Tao brought this to Emperor Da Tang. In his heart, he was excited about whether this would please His Majesty or not.
The first time Emperor Li Lianzhong saw this very simple meal. He frowned slightly. But the fragrance was irresistible against his nose. Li Lianzhong opened up his mind to try this dish once. And as soon as the broth hit the tongue, Emperor Li Lianzhong's eyes lit up. Hair all over his body flared up to respond to this flavor.
"Awesome." Li Lianzhong shouted loudly.
Emperor Li Lianzhong was known for having a divine tongue that could distinguish all kinds of flavors. Causing him to have a habit of choosing to eat only delicious food. If there is food that does not suit his mouth, he will not be satisfied immediately. But plain fried noodles with pork and kale soaked in gravy in front of him, causing the emperor to open up the world to a new perspective.
His clothing was miraculously torn apart after eating just one bite. As if there was some superpower hidden in this dish. His upper body immediately topless. But the emperor did not care, hurriedly ate the next bite. The umami taste penetrates the taste buds of the god tongue. Directed into the brain cells becomes difficult to deny.
"What is this? Why is this dish so full of the profound smell of the sea?" Li Lian Zhong sensed the depth of the sea. As if he had entered there, algae, shellfish, shrimp, and fish were swimming around him.
"It's delicious." Li Lianzhong finished eating all of it. Before saying satisfied, "Follow the chef who cooked this."
Since then, Fang Tao has become the head chef in place of the former. He was given the name of the emperor as a skillful cook like a god. Fang Tao had always become the person in charge of cooking for the emperor.
Emperor Li Lianzhong always wondered why his hair was falling down so often these days. But he did not care because he thought that he was old and stressed the task of managing the land.
Back to the present,
Fang Tao was kneeling down. Can't tell the truth because during this time, he could not buy seasoning powder any longer. Moreover, the fiery liquor that the emperor liked to drink was also in short supply. Causing him to show his true skills and the results came out as seen.
Fang Tao thought that he had to be dismayed. After cooking like that. Today the secret is broken. Without seasoning powder, he is no different from the general public. The name of cooking gods is only a joke.
And at that moment, Emperor Li Lianzhong said.
"I think you might be sick. Since you entered the palace, you have not rested. Go ahead and get some rest and work again." Li Lianzhong thought that Fang Tao must have been sick. Because the food he cooked had a deep taste that was hard to describe. Today, the other person must be too tired and made a mistake like this. He is the emperor who has mercy. On such little things, he does not care. Show the mercy of the rulers of the region.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fang Tao hurriedly left the room after receiving the emperor's pardon. He tried to find dark corners, calling out many close people.
Fang Tao hurriedly sent people to markets all over the city of Chang'an.
"You guys immediately went looking for something called seasoning powder. No matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it." Fang Tao is now willing to spend everything in search of seasoning powder. If the secrets are leaked, he is afraid he won't be as lucky as today. To be sure, he needed to find seasoning powder back again.
This measure of the Allied siege of the Four Nations has had disastrous consequences. Come back to true self-destruction. All four regions faced a shortage of goods and began to escalate into a great crisis.
